    There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
    New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

    The part where Stalin spends a week in Austria and casually drives a wedge between a child and their mother for no discernable reason is some Thanos level pettiness.

    The best days of Stalin's life was when he was exiled to Siberia? Sort of puts a new angle on all the people he sent to gulags in Siberia. He wasn't trying to kill them he wanted them to have the life changing experience he enjoyed.

    • @petebondurant58

      He realized how soft the Czar was during HIS exile, so he made certain that the GULAG was far more harsh.

      @@petebondurant58 Yes and no. To start off my post was a joke in case that was not obvious. But, it is a misconception based in large part on anti communist propaganda that the gulags were all death camps.
      There were some that were, some that were normal prisons, but most of them were just work camps that eventually became towns. Just like the Tsarist's katorga there was a big difference between North Siberia and South Siberia and exactly who was in charge of what camp.
      But the reality was that around 8% of people sent to the gulag died in one. And if you take out 1933, 1943 and 1944 the death rate would not be that out of line for US prisons of the period.
      Stalin was sent to a southern Siberian work camp and the gulags in that area were probably not much different when he was in charge of the country.

      I don't think most siberian exiles enjoyed it or even got payed, most seem to be ethnic poles being sent there to work and then not allowed to go back or just send there and forgotten about.

      Stalin enjoyed his exile so much, that when he ran the USSR, he made certain that his GULAG was horrific. He didn't want them to have the "life changing experience he enjoyed." He wanted them to suffer.

    Stuff like this shows that while people like Stalin were the worst of humanity, they were still human. With all the comic foils and absurdities that come with being human...and that's the underrated scary thing about it. Humanity is capable of being monsters on their own

    I am from a country that was formerly part of Soviet Union, so it was interesting to see an American perspective to his persona. Also, I never knew Stalin was such a funny guy.
    P.S. It's not that I like him, I hate this bastard. My family directly suffered from those bastars, still an amusing bastard

      @@philipmalcolm4550 A joke goes. Stalin attends a circus. He laughs and grins throughout the clowns performance, but after it ends he says, "Well, I liked the comedy. But that clown had a moustache just like mine. Shoot him." Everyone is speechless, until someone sheepishly suggests, "Comrade Stalin, maybe he can off his moustache?" Stalin replies, "Good idea! First shave, then shoot!"

      The banality of evil…it’s so important to see people in their whole context. Especially historical figures. Stalin did evil things and killed so many people and he was also a funny guy. Humanity is neither inherently good or evil, we’re all capable of godless atrocities if given the power, opportunity, and unaccountability.

      What is it with authoritarians and only having one joke? Or at least, only one joke at a time? (In Stalin's case it was masturbation/sex.)

    Molotov is indeed the guy the petrol bombs are named after. You see he was a fucking monster. He ordered bombs dropped over Finland towns that were made to look as food drops. A tactic it seems specifically made to target civilians. People started callling them Molotov's Linch boxes. So the Finish called the fire bomb they were using against the Red Army Molotov Cocktails to go with the lunchboxes. Basically gallows humour in the time of war.
    Oh and Molotov was deeply involved with the purges and mass executions. He is the one that came up with the mass execution orders, so Stalin could order hundreds of executions by just signing a single document.

    I almost feel like it might be a bit toned down
